This forum is all about Geno Smith as a Franchise QB. Yet every single article I read elsewhere says that this draft doesn't have a Franchise QB.

I got the feeling from Reid's statement that he was tempering the fan base because at this point in time, HE doesn't know if there's a Franchise QB in the THIS draft and he doesn't want everyone to be disappointed if he chooses another position or trades out.

Like you, I'll trust his QB evaluation.

We can't put stock in a single thing said in the presser today. Coach speak all the way.

This is what everyone should want. They should want an evaluation, and not some asshole coming in here with his mind already made up like the last GM who I won't even dignify with a name anymore.

Instead, there's going to be some on here who go all crazy if Geno Smith isn't the guy.

I want a QB in here too, but I also wanted new leadership first and foremost. I trust that new leadership can identify QBs since that's what a majority of them have done an incredible job with a majority of their careers.

But answer me this: When is "Coach Speak" not Coach Speak? How can you be absolutely certain that he didn't mean what he said? That he was going to evaluate the position and NOT choose a QB, just to choose a QB and that he may choose a QB next year?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave open the possibility that he's telling the truth. I also believe it's possible that they pass on a QB at #1 overall.

True.

But I don't really see next years class being even close to this years class.

Absolutely he's going to evaluate the roster in great depth. I wouldn't expect anything less, but I don't think making that statement, while true, makes any news. Kind of like saying after a loss, "We need to execute better." Well, no shit.

What he's not going to do is give any indication of how he'll fix the QB situation in KC.

Now, I agree that he might not take a QB at 1/1, but I think it's an absolute lock that we won't get beyond the #33 overall pick without selecting a QB who will be penciled in to start next season at some point.
